DUAL BLOCK® 2-WAY BALL VALVE

• Connection system for weld, threaded and flanged joints• Patented SEAT STOP® ball seat carrier system that lets you micro-adjust

ball seats and minimise axial force effects• Easy radial disassembly allowing quick replacement of O-rings and ball

seats without any need for tools• PN10 True Union valve body made for PP-H injection moulding equipped

with built-in bores for actuation. ISO 9393 compliant test requisites• Option of disassembling downstream pipes with the valve in the closed

position• Floating full bore ball with high surface finish• Integrated bracket for valve anchoring• Ball seat carriers can be adjusted using the Easytorque adjustment kit• Possibility to have handle with integrated LSQT limit micro switch, even as

a retrofit in existing installations

FIP has developed a VKD DUAL BLOCK® 2-WAY ball valve to introduce a high reference standard in thermosplastic valve design. VKD is a True Union ball valve that meets the most stringent needs required by industrial applications.

PRESSURE VARIATION ACCORDING TO TEMPERATUREFor water and harmless fluids to which the material is classified as CHEMICALLY RESISTANT. In other cases, a reduction of the nominal PN pressure is required (25 years with safety factor).

PRESSURE DROP GRAPH

KV100 FLOW COEFFICIENTThe Kv100 flow coefficient is the Q flow rate of litres per minute of water at a temperature of 20°C that will generate Δp= 1 bar pressure drop at a certain valve position. The Kv100 values shown in the table are calculated with the valve completely open.

LS Quick KitThe Limit Switch Quick Kit allows the fast and secure installation of the FIP LSQT to the VKD valves. The body in in PP-GR and the handle in stainless steel AISI 316. The handle block at 0° and 90° is also available by default (hole diameter 6.5 mm). The kit can be assembled on the valve even if already installed on the system. For technical data of the LSQT box see FIP actated valves catalogue.

All valves, whether manual or actuated, must be adequately supported in many applications. The VKD valve series is therefore provided with an inte-grated bracket that permits direct anchoring of the valve body without the need of othercomponents. For wall installation, dedicated PMKD mounting plates which are available as accessories can be used. These plates should be fastened to the valve before wall installation. PMKD plates also allow VKD valve ali-gnment with FIP ZIKM pipe clips as well as allowing different sizes of valves to be aligned.

COMPONENTS

DISASSEMBLY1) Isolate the valve from the line (release

the pressure and empty the pipeline).2) Unlock the union nuts by pressing the

lever on the DUAL BLOCK® (16) along the axis and separate it from the union nut (fig. 1-2). It is also possible to com-pletely remove the block device from the body of the valve.

3) Fully unscrew the union nuts (13) and extract the body sideways.

4) Before dismounting, hold the valve in a vertical position and open it 45° to drain any liquid that might remain.

5) After closing the valve, remove the special insert (1) from the handle (2) and push the two projecting ends into the corresponding recesses on the ball seat carrier (11). Rotate the stop ring anti-clockwise to extract it (fig. 3-4).

6) Pull the handle (2) upwards to remove it from the valve stem (4).

7) Press on the ball from the side oppo-site the “REGULAR - ADJUST” label, being sure not to scratch it, until the ball seat carrier exits (11), then extract the ball (6).

8) Press the stem (4) inwards until it ex-its the body.

9) Remove the O-Ring (3, 8, 9, 10) and PTFE ball seats (5) extracting them from their grooves, as illustrated in the exploded view.

ASSEMBLY1) All the O-rings (3, 8, 9, 10) must be in-

serted in their grooves as shown in the exploded view.

2) Insert the stem (4) from inside the valve body (7).

3) Place the PTFE ball seats (5) in the housings in the body (7) and in the ball seat ball seat carrier (11).

4) Insert the ball (6) rotating it to the closed position.

5) Screw the carrier (11) into the body and tighten up in the clockwise direc-tion using the handle (2) to limit stop.

6) lnsert the valve between the end con-nectors (12) and tighten the union nuts (13) making sure that the sock-et seal O-rings (10) do not exit their seats.

7) The handle (2) should be placed on the valve stem (4).

Note: during assembly operations, it is advisable to lubricate the rubber seals. Mineral oils are not recommended for this task as they react aggressively with EPDM rubber.

Before proceeding with installation. please follow these instructions careful-ly:1) Check that the pipes to be connected to the valve are aligned in order to avoid mechanical stress on the threaded joints.2) Check that the DUAL BLOCK® union nut locking device (16) is fitted to the valve body.3) To release the union nuts, axially press the release lever to separate the lock and then unscrew it in the counter-clockwise direction.4) Unscrew the union nuts (13) and insert them on the pipe segments.5) Solvent weld or screw the end connectors (12) onto the pipe ends.6) Position the valve body between the end connectors and fully tighten the union nuts (13) manually by rotating clockwise without using wrenches or other tools that could damage the union nut surface.7) Lock the union nuts by returning the DUAL BLOCK® to its housing, pres-sing on it until the hinges lock on the union nuts.8) If necessary, support the pipework with FIP pipe clips or by means of the carrier built into the valve itself (see paragraph “fastening and carriers”).The VKD valve can be equipped with a handle lock to prevent ball rotation (supplied separately).When the handle safety block (14, 15) is installed, lift the lever (15) and rota-te the handle (fig. 6-7).A lock can also be installed on the handle to protect the system against tampering (fig. 8).Seal can be adjusted using the extractable insert on the handle (fig. 3-4).The seals can be adjusted later with the valve installed on the pipe by sim-ply tightening the union nuts. This "micro adjustment", only possible with FIP valves thanks to the patented "Seat stop system", allows the seal to be recovered where PTFE ball seats are worn due to a high number of opera-tions. The Easytorque kit can also be used for micro adjustments (fig. 5).

WARNINGS · If volatile liquid such as Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) or Sodium Hypochlo-rite (NaCIO) are used, for safety reasons we recommend you contact the service centre. These liquids, upon vaporising, could create hazardous over pressures in the area between the body and ball.· Always avoid sudden closing operations and protect the valve from acci-dental operations.
